Courteney Cox says she thought David Arquette was gay after finding app

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) - When Courteney Cox discovered that someone had downloaded an iPhone dating application for the gay community, she thought David Arquette had some explaining to do.

While promoting her new film "Scream 4" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Tuesday, the 46-year-old actress said she was nervous when she saw Grindr, a phone app that allows gay men to see other gay men nearby, downloaded on her iTunes account.

Since she and Arquette, who are currently separated, share the same account on Apple, she automatically assumed it was him.

"I was going on to the iTunes store to buy some music just the other day and I'm so behind the times I was buying a song and it said, 'You've already purchased this.' I was thinking to myself, 'No I haven't.' And then I thought it must be David because we have the same account.

"So I went on to view the history to see what other songs he had downloaded because he's hip! And I was like, oh wow, there's a lot of books. Then there were some songs and then it said, 'Grindr, to find the same sex in your neighborhood."

The "Cougar Town" star, who has 6-year-old daughter Coco with Arquette, was relieved when she found out that the app belonged to her assistant, although he denied it was his at first.

"So I called up my assistant who happens to be gay and I asked him, 'Did you happen to buy a thing on our iTunes thing.' He said, 'Nope!' And I was like, 'Really, you didn't make one purchase?' and he just said, 'No Courteney.' And I'm saying, 'Come on buddy, I won't get mad, just tell me about it! You got one thing, you got Grindr!' and he was like, 'Oh yeah, yeah, that was a free app!' And I was like, 'Thank you.' That would have been so terrible."
